WISDOM

This have I learned from my own personal quest. In my souls understanding, the greatest threat to Peace & Balance is Avidyā. Avidyā is a Sanskrit word whose literal meaning is Ignorance, Misconceptions, Misunderstandings, or Incorrect Knowledge.
One way to decrease Ignorance is reawaken Philosophia. Philosophia, by this definition, is the Love Of & the Search For Wisdom. Philosophia is an ACTIVE search for Wisdom. It is meant to guide our actions & prescribe a Way of Life. It clarifies the fundamental nature of Reality & concerns itself with the Nature of Being.

Our interpretation of the World, does not always match Reality. There are innumerable illusions. The Frequency Illusion is when we see a reality that matches our expectation. Our belief system does not change what is real however.
Philosophia, brings the 'philosopher' to Higher Levels of Being. A genuine practitioner of the tradition of Philosophia understands that this lower, terrestrial world is in some way a shadow of a higher world. The key is in the knowledge & ability to distinguish the material world from the Spiritual world. Don't allow the counterfeit world be sold as the Genuine. Be in this world but not of it serves as a reminder to remain unattached to the material. In this sense, both Christian & Buddhist Philosophies are harmonious & relevant. This relevancy extends even to Sufi Poets. In Truth, One is All. Truth is inclusive, so...

"Take an axe to the prison wall.
Escape.
Walk out like someone suddenly born into color.
Do it now.
You're covered with thick cloud.
Slide out the side.
Die, and be quiet.
Quietness is the surest sign that you've died.
Your old life was a frantic running from silence.
The speechless full moon comes out now." -Rumi

"Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born again, he cannot see the kingdom of God.
Nicodemus saith unto him, How can a man be born when he is old? can he enter the second time into his mother's womb, and be born?
Jesus answered, Verily, verily, I say unto thee, Except a man be born of water & of the Spirit, he cannot enter into the kingdom of God.
That which is born of the flesh is flesh; and that which is born of the Spirit is spirit." John 3

Essentially Peace & Balance would mean:
"To swing on the spiral
Of our divinity and
Still be a human."
